<p>Last week&nbsp;the mom posted the&nbsp;letter on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.kissengele/posts/10154053481895845" target="_blank">Facebook</a>&nbsp;addressed to&nbsp;&ldquo;the parent that thought it was OK to invite the entire class to their child&rsquo;s birthday except for my son.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The letter had over 20,000 likes and many comments&nbsp;before it was&nbsp;removed.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I know it&rsquo;s not because he&rsquo;s mean, you couldn&rsquo;t meet a happier child,&rdquo; she wrote.&nbsp;&ldquo;I know it&rsquo;s not because he&rsquo;s not fun, he has a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. I know it&rsquo;s not because your child and him don&rsquo;t get along, he&rsquo;s brought up your child&rsquo;s name on several occasions.&rdquo;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;The only reason why you decided it was OK to not invite my son to your child&rsquo;s birthday party is because he has Down syndrome,&rdquo; she said.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>&quot;You see, having Down Syndrome doesn&rsquo;t mean that you don&rsquo;t want to have friends. It doesn&rsquo;t mean that you don&rsquo;t have feelings. It doesn&rsquo;t mean you don&rsquo;t like to go to birthday parties. People with Down Syndrome want the same things that you and I want. They want to have close relationships, they want to feel love, they want to contribute, they want to have meaningful lives, and they want to go to birthday parties.&nbsp;It may be more difficult at times to understand my child. But the laughter and love that you share doesn&rsquo;t need interpretation.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Acknowledging that it may have been better to talk to the class about Down Syndrome rather than discussing only the mother concluded by saying she is &#39;&quot;not a scary person.&nbsp;I recognize that we all make mistakes and at the end of the day, I think we both could have done better.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The post may have been removed as the story ended well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an update to the post, the mom said this story has a &ldquo;happy ending.&rdquo; After the parent read the letter her son&nbsp;received a special invitation to the birthday party.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;Of course he&rsquo;s been beaming ever since and can&rsquo;t stop talking about it,&rdquo;</p>
